Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code.
A straight bond with an embedded option to exchange the bond for the stock of a company other than the issuer (usually a subsidiary or company in which the issuer owns a stake) at some future date and under prescribed conditions.  


Chapter 11 is designed to allow a financially stressed business temporary protection from its creditors, in order to provide an opportunity for recovery.


A Chapter 11 debtor usually proposes a plan of reorganization to keep its business alive, and pay its creditors over time.  
This right is an option in favour of the holder / investor.
 
In return for this additional valuable right, the investor is generally willing to accept a lower rate of interest on the debt.
 
This saves interest for the issuer / borrower, at the cost of writing the option.
